Chapter 1303: Speculations of the Bigwigs

"Good day, Chairman!"
"Good day to both of you!"
After the initial pleasantries, the group quickly delved into the main topic.
Banker Andrew spoke first, "Both of you, we've heard rumors about Su Yu being Dalando's secondary account. Lucia and I have known about this for some time."
Gem Dragon Lucia nodded, "We knew, but we had no evidence. It wasn't until today, seeing Su Yu's performance, that we could confirm it's indeed Dalando's secondary account."
Acting Chairman Lemore smiled, "Since we all share the same thoughts, we can speak more openly. Su Yu being Dalando's secondary account is something Grenand and I just analyzed. Given the significant move Dalando has made, it seems it's time for us to unite."
"Agreed," Banker Andrew said seriously. "Who would have thought Dalando would play such a major card? He actually has a Level 4 AI!
Regardless of other factors, this is a significant event for the entire Federation, wouldn't you say?"
"Absolutely," Grenand chuckled. "Once this news spreads, we'll immediately become the focus of the entire Federation."
Gem Dragon Lucia asked, "What do you two plan to do about it?"
Lemore and Grenand exchanged glances before Lemore continued, "Let's not rush to a solution just yet. Given the current situation, let's analyze it first.
Firstly, regarding this Level 4 AI, we can't oppose or ban it. We can only allow Dalando to use it. Do you both agree?"
Andrew and Lucia exchanged a look.
Andrew then nodded, "That's correct. We have no reason to oppose it."
The four of them, seasoned veterans with centuries of experience, understood the intricacies of the situation clearly.
While they could theoretically unite to prevent Dalando from using the Level 4 AI in the Hub, the Hub has a total of nine Stellar Rank members. With one away at the Lania Hub and another in seclusion, only seven seats remained.
If they banded together, they could influence the council vote and ban the use of the Level 4 AI in the Hub.
Such a ban would immediately derail Dalando's plans.
However, they couldn't do that.
The news of a Level 4 AI appearing in the Figer Hub would soon spread throughout the Federation. If they voted to ban it, it would make them a laughingstock in the eyes of the entire Federation.
Moreover, a Level 4 AI represents the most advanced technology. The general populace would undoubtedly want to improve their current dire security conditions and benefit from the AI as soon as possible.
They couldn't stand against the people.
Historical experience taught them that even with their Stellar Rank status and significant power, opposing the people would never end well.
Therefore, they couldn't band together to ban the AI.
Acting Chairman Lemore's expression grew serious, "We can't ban the AI, but we can support Dalando in deploying it within the Hub. However, supporting it doesn't mean Dalando achieves his goals. We can use other methods to restrict the AI!"
"Then how do you plan to restrict it?" Andrew asked. "Or, from which aspects should we impose restrictions?"
"There are many ways to limit it. We can find ways to ensure Dalando can't do too much with it..."
The four Stellar Rank leaders began their discussions.
...
While the four Stellar Rank leaders were plotting to restrict Dalando, in the 2nd Star Region, Commander Dalando was also discussing Su Yu with others.
However, he was unaware that someone had already begun to suspect Su Yu of being his alt account.
Daran Doro's discussion partner was Luman Grider.
"Luman, what do you think about this Su Yu?" In the living room of Daran Doro's home, he reclined in the main seat, looking at Luman Grider's virtual projection across from him.
Luman Grider stood calmly, not immediately answering. He furrowed his brow, deep in thought.
Finally, he said, "Su Yu gives me a very strange feeling."
"Strange? How so? Be specific," Daran Doro asked.
Luman Grider stroked the whiskers on his chin, carefully choosing his words. "The strangest thing about him is that he can produce a Level 4 AI. The planetary dragon's corpse is one thing, but producing a Level 4 AI is just too abstract."
"Indeed, very abstract," Daran Doro agreed.
But Daran Doro continued, "Abstract as it is, why do you find him strange?"
Luman Grider sighed. "Well, it's still because of the Level 4 AI. I had a thought—could Su Yu be a spy sent by the resistance?"
"Resistance?"
"Exactly," Luman Grider said seriously. "As we all know, the Federation currently has no AIs above Level 2. Suddenly, a Level 4 AI appears, which is very abrupt.
A reasonable explanation is that the AI was deliberately sent by the resistance.
The resistance has many high-level AIs, and the Crystal Blue Collective also possesses a significant number of advanced AIs.
It's possible they sent the AI to infiltrate us.
If that's the case, then all of Su Yu's actions make sense."
"True," Daran Doro agreed again. "If Su Yu is from the resistance, everything makes sense."
Because Su Yu is from the resistance, he can produce a Level 4 AI;
And because Su Yu is from the resistance, he was able to produce the corpse of a planetary fourth-stage dragon last time.
Darak, the Dark Thunder Dragon, is part of the Dark Energy Resistance, which ties everything together!
Daran Doro continued, "While it makes sense, there's one point that doesn't seem to fit..."
"Exactly," Luman said with a bitter smile. "When we examined AI Blue Whale, we confirmed that it shares the same origin as Hymn, making it a sub-AI of Hymn.
Since Blue Whale and Hymn share the same origin, the theory that 'Su Yu is from the resistance' doesn't hold up, which is why I find him so 'strange'."
"Indeed," Daran Doro mused. "Su Yu has many secrets, making him hard to read."
But then, he suddenly looked at Luman. "Wait, Luman, is there a possibility that 'Blue Whale sharing the same origin as Hymn' is a ruse, a forgery by the resistance?"
"Ah, you mean..." Luman's face darkened at this realization.
Of course, he hadn't considered this possibility.
If Blue Whale's "shared origin" with Hymn is a forgery, it's not entirely impossible.
The resistance has a deep understanding of Hymn, constantly studying it over millions of years of conflict.
If the resistance created an AI that appears to share the same origin as Hymn but is actually a spy, it's not out of the question.
In other words, Su Yu's suspicion hasn't been cleared!
